[Rydia doesn't stray too far from the village during this part of the cycle, but she can and will wander the edges, hoping to spot New Feathers. If she can help them a little earlier, why not?
Upon seeing someone she doesn't recognize, and limping at that, a concerned Rydia starts forward.]
[Knuckles glances up when he sees the woman coming towards him. He's a little surprised that she's human. He had expected to come across more turtles like Donatello when he reached the village, but it doesn't really make any difference to the echidna. He'll keep moving and, stubborn little thing he is, forces himself to walk normally as she approaches.]
Magic? [Magic's good, he's had better luck with magic users than doctors. But he still has trust issues.] Thank you, but you don't need to waist it on me.
I'd would like to hear about this welcome centre. I already have the guide, but I haven't had chance to read it yet.
[She isn't going to push the issue, seeing as how he's not in dire need. No reason to make the newcomers even more tense.]
It's right in the center of town. I can show you the way, since I was about to head back, as it is. We have food, drink, beds and try to provide as much in the way of answers about this place as we can.
Every couple of months, we have a bunch of new people from different worlds and times arrive here. Some are those who were sent home and are returning, but many are here for the first time. In that case, it helps to pass on what we know. There wasn't anything like it when I first arrived.
A little over two years. I arrived in February, which as you can imagine was a lot less fun when the Malnosso dress you in the same kind of clothing they do for the warmer months.
[She wrinkles her nose at that, never about to forgive them for making people nearly freeze to death.]
That is a long time. [A small trace of concern can probably be heard in his voice. He can't afford to spend two years away from the island! Who knows what would happen!]
Yes I can imagine. [Knuckles doesn't know much about clothes, but even he can see where that would be a problem. She nearly freezes to death and he gets trousers that he doesn't need.]
The Malnosso are the reason we're here? [He had been starting to think that this place was like the Special Zone, but it all seems too ... organised.] They can't be to smart if they just leave people to freeze in the winter.
I wish they weren't, but they must be doing something right, since there are plenty of us here. There's a barrier encircling this realm which keeps us inside, and no one's been able to breach it. It even dampens our own powers a bit.
That's right. Your powers are roughly half of what they once were...and anything really powerful might not work at all. Summoning isn't possible, for instance.

Er, Hello.

Hello. Do you want healing? There's no reason to walk around like that when it can be fixed.

Healing? Are you a doctor?

No, but I do have some healing magic. I'm Rydia, one of the volunteers at Luceti's Welcome Center.

You must get a lot of new arrivals to be so prepared.

There wasn't? ...How long have you been here then?

[Slightly bitter, there.]

[Knuckles looks around at the buildings they're passing.] This is village is bigger than I expected. Is everyone here from different Zones?
